I have watched workmates and family etc ....Waste half their life on them to the extent they panic or use their mobile to check in on these sites wherever and whenever they are!

Its so consuming with some people to the extent I was in a BAR/NIGHTCLUB toilets and the guy standing a few Urinals down to me was frantically replying to posts on his phone on FACEBOOK MOBILE in the middle of relieving himself ... he told me "Stupid Damn Facebook Addiction I just cant keep away from it long!!"

Sure its got its good points but If you really want to keep that close contact with friends etc ... then GO out and SOCIALIZE with them its much more fun lol

I recently created a facebook account, stared at it for 5 minutes where random people offered me friend request, i then slapped myself and shut it down. I think the things are a waste of time. I agree with kobrakaan, go out :P
